A review of Karen Armstrong's book A Short History of Myth by George Kalogeris from shop books online bookstore featuring used books, discount books, signed and rare books, childrens books A short review of Karen Armstrong's A Short History of Myth Armstrong's by George Kalogeris 09/21/2020 Some parents tell their children myths at bedtime and most others read modern children’s literature to their little ones. I suspect that most are not assigning much meaning to the myths they recount and the readers are using the stories as sleep aids versus morality lessons. At best, the parents might think the stories and myths are simply a form of entertainment. But like any proper bedtime story, A Short History of Myth by Karen Armstrong does a few things that all adults, not just parents, should pay heed to: she shows us how myths have helped create fuller, more complete lives in the past, that we are wrong to ignore myths, and implores us to create and discover myths that will give our lives meaning today. Armstrong wisely begins like many stories, at the beginning, by asking the question: what is myth? She gives definitions using simple, concise language - that myths can be a “counter-narrative that enables us to come to terms with mortality” and to “enable us to place our lives in a larger setting”. In effect, Armstrong argues, myths are about human experience and how we can live complete lives but we’ve changed the meaning today to have it mean simply an untrue story. Starting in Paleolithic times, Armstrong condenses 20 thousand years to 149 pages (no mean feat) and explains the origins of humankind’s creation and use of myths. She extrapolates from the scantest earliest evidence of Neanderthal and early homo-sapiens physical remnants such as the cave paintings at Lascaux, and argues for how myths were seen and interpreted in earliest humans to how they are seen today. She necessarily uses words such as ‘probably’ and ‘almost certainly’ which softens the arguments but the examples feel sound. Armstrong details how the great revolutions of our existence, from hunting and gathering to farming to city building to the development of the “golden rule” (c. 800 to 200 BCE) to just before our modern age (c. 1500 CE) have shaped myths, and shows how myths changed to meet the new psychological and physical realities of life in each era and still “enabled us to place our lives in a larger setting” and “come to terms with mortality”. Myths were not wholly rational but they weren’t designed to be; they were used as guides to change. The criticism of earlier wishy washy language fades as Armstrong moves through the ages. Naturally, the more firm the evidence, the steadier the ground for explaining how people saw themselves and their story telling. A slightly more opaque and scholarly tone creeps into the book as more modern concepts of “being” arise, causing a breakdown with the earlier, more simple language used. Another criticism is that Armstrong relies on “western” myths and we don’t hear much about, for example, African or Native American myths , but the shortness of the book and perhaps Armstrong’s background as a former nun in a Christian, western setting makes it harder to add. To her credit she does acknowledge the shortcoming in one chapter. Armstrong begins her last chapter “The Great Transformation ” with the statement that we have been creating a change in civilization that is unprecedented in human history. This latest age (starting c. 1500) is founded on the replication of goods and economic reinvestment and has been so successful that we have focused almost entirely on the rational (logical or scientific thinking) that our psychological needs are being neglected. Yet our need to place ourselves in the universe and give meaning to our lives cannot wholly be replaced by logic and science because logic doesn’t and shouldn’t answer the question why. Armstrong argues that we need myths to again tell us why or at least tell us how to authentically live with the modern knowledge we have. The despair in modern economies needs myth to explain what is happening in people’s lives. The superficial nature of many social media offerings tells us that we are often silent and solitary people, focused simply on the how but we need meaning. Armstrong realizes that storytelling, right from the start of our cave dwelling ancestors, was a method to impart meaning to people’s lives and she implores the artists and writers and other creators to become the mythmakers and guides in today’s world, to allow humans to once again “enable us to place ourselves in a larger setting.”

Review of Ted Allan and Sydney Gordon's The Sword and the Scalpel by George Kalogeris on shop books online bookstore featuring used books, discount books, signed and rare books, childrens books Hagiography, not biography A review of The Sword, The Scalpel by Ted Allan and Sydney Gordon by George Kalogeris 10/06/2020 Norman Bethune is still a hero to many Canadians and non-Canadians, especially in China where he spent the last years of his life in Mao’s fight against the Japanese, Chinese imperialists and capitalists. Socialists, medical professionals and many Montréalers (where he spent a good part of his life as chief of thoracic surgery at Ste. Justine Hospital) revere Bethune as a noble doctor who helped the underprivileged. His many exploits of genius, from designing better surgical tools to inventing the modern mobile medical unit used in wars since 1939, have made him a Canadian to be proud of. His almost single-handed and constant fight against tuberculosis alone (which he himself suffered from), would make him a great humanitarian. Which makes it all the more unfortunate that Ted Allan and Sydney Gordon’s biography has two things (among many) that hinder our understanding and appreciation of this man: The book is more propaganda than art which serves to make a truly great man somehow lesser and the information gathered and given to the reader is subsumed by the authors’ agenda in pushing a particular point of view, that of the glorious communist future awaiting us. The book is more hagiography than biography. Now, I don’t have an issue with a socialist or communist ideologist attempting to convince us of the greatness of that way of life, but the effect of items such as getting to age 34 of his life by page 20 of a 319 page book, but writing with great heavy-handed detail on his death, to the extent that we know the exact time of his passing and the exact words spoken by those around him full of camaraderie and brotherhood, is to feel like we are being beaten over the head with untruths. Yes, we know that all the communists fighting in Mao’s army were really, really hard-working and never complained about their lot because they believed in the brotherhood of man. Enough already. Those looking for an in depth analyses of Bethune’s early childhood and formative experiences should look elsewhere. For example, where did Bethune get such a single-minded ability to focus and his zeal for causes? We are given scant information on his parents; his father was a minister and his mother a missionary is basically all we’re told. A proper biography would have explored his upbringing and relationship to his parents to bring into focus his later stubbornness and attachment to causes. The authors write of Bethune’s “idealism of adolescence” but try as I might, I can not find any reference to his adolescence as Bethune’s teen-age years don’t even rate a sentence. Bethune joined the Canadian armed forces the day World War 1 begun. He spent time at the front and was wounded at Ypres where many Canadian historians note that Canada was truly born as a nation. Surely such a horrendous experience would make some sort of impression and help us to understand his later hatred of unworthy causes. After all, many post-war writers, the Lost Generation as Gertrude Stein called them, felt such deep scars that they wrote and drank and talked in some fashion about their experiences for the rest of their lives. These authors see fit to give us exactly one page on Bethune and the First World War. The propensity to propaganda comes early in the book. We are told that Bethune’s decision to start his first medical practice in Detroit is partly because “America was rich, and a great torrent of its riches washed through Detroit…There, he told himself, he would have to kiss no one’s hand, bend the knee to no British upper-class dowager…” There is nothing inherently wrong with this statement except that we haven’t been given a proper explanation or set-up before hand to tell us why he felt he had to “bend his knee”. In the paragraphs preceding this statement we are told he is living the good life and quite enjoying it. We are told of his jaunts in London, Paris and Italy, carousing and carrying-on like any young man at the time. He seems to be happy. Where did he get the feeling he was “bending the knee” while drinking in London pubs or picking up girls in Parisian cafes? Approximately 2 pages later we are told that money no longer satisfies him, he needs to be able to be the “old” Bethune, healing the poor with no thought to monetary reward. Unfortunately the authors have already made him out to be a bit of a spoiled rich kid…how many of us get to go to medical school in England and Italy and squander the money sent by parents on drinks and food. At least make the propaganda a little more subtle. Now I know this book was written in 1952 during a time of Communist witch-hunts and paranoia so maybe the message had to be heavy-handed but it doesn’t excuse sloppy writing. The move from self-serving to self-sacrificing young doctor is unclear and one of the problems I think is that both authors knew Bethune and the only detailed biographical information we get comes in the years that Allan and Gordon had dealings with their subject. I had seen the Donald Sutherland movie (Bethune – The Making of a Hero) many years ago and the only part that made an impression on me was when Sutherland, playing Bethune, collapses his own lung in order to stave off or cure the effects of tuberculosis. My thoughts at the time were, my god, what absolute balls does it take to be able to operate on yourself and is this what Bethune really did or did the film makers take the hero title a little too seriously. I bought Bethune’s biography soon after to confirm for myself. Although Bethune never actually collapsed his own lung, this biography would have us believe that this medical genius, inventor and communist was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The sainthood attributed to Bethune sometimes so far outweighs the often truly astonishing things he has done, that this biography makes the man Bethune much less real and the story of his life, ironically, much less interesting.

Review of Wilfred Thesiger's My Life and Travels An Anthology book by George Kalogeris, from shop books online bookstore featuring used books, discount books, signed and rare books, childrens books Wilfred Thesiger: My Life and Travels - An Anthology A review by George Kalogeris 09/25/2020 There are passages in Wilfred Thesiger's book, My Life & Travels, An Anthology , where I often wondered what I would do in his position. Whether facing wild animals with a single bullet left in an untrustworthy gun, or travelling with companions in unsafe regions, who were revealed to be outlaws; what would I do? The answer is simple. I wouldn't have been there in the first place. And that is the one simple reason to read this anthology of Thesiger's travel writings. He has travelled like the great explorers of the 19th century, mostly on his own two feet, in inhospitable yet breathtaking lands and written about both the discomfort and beauty in the same upper-class, British, dry, understated way that by implication, gets your heart racing. His meticulous and dreary counting of bedbugs (there were sixty) while in Iraq show a perverse, and dare I say it, "mad dogs and englishmen" sort of stiff upper lip that both attracts and repulses at the same time. The reader thinks, why didn't he just go sleep somewhere else? Well, because then he might not have an amusing and strange event to write about. His non-chalant recounting of a beating he received in Africa makes one wonder if he isn't going too far in recounting obviously painful memories. He writes about the violence that "it is not something to be repeated". Unless you're at the club old chap. Although the dry writing can be off-putting, the description of lands now forever changed by their inhabitants and invaders, and the toils made to get there are enough of an invitation to get the reader going, if only in her own mind.
